“I rarely give 5 star reviews, but Lora was so amazing! She said our dogs were the first ones she did visits with, but our dogs seemed happy in every picture she sent us. She visited as discussed, took time to give them scritches and love on them. I was really impressed and so long as we live in Lincoln we will be reaching out to Lora for our fur babies.”
“We have a complicated cat ecosystem in our home, including a strong-willed cat who needs daily medication, a sensitive cat who needs focused attention, and a wily, wary young cat. Kirsten is reliable, flexible, and a great communicator. Each of our cats was well cared for while we were away, and the updates we received were clear and crafted with care.”
“Amy did such a good job with my cats. They looked well taken care of and always answered when I asked questions or needed reassurance that they were happy. Thanks again for doing such a great job!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs & cats since I was in high school. House sitting and pet sitting is one of my favorite ways to make money. I love animals, I also enjoy going for a walk so having a dog with me makes me feel more relaxed & comfortable. Cats I just enjoy being around and seeing the crazy little behavior.

I have Fridays off so I’ll be able to spend a lot of the day with the animals. Monday through Thursday I have classes however I only have two classes on Monday and Wednesday and three classes on Thursday so I’ll be able to check on the animals throughout the day and also be there at night with them. when I decide to housesit or animal sit for a client.

I can take the animals on walks if that’s what they enjoy if the animals tend to be more elderly, I can just spend time with them make sure they’re getting their meds whatever you guys have a preference of me doing I can do it to the best of my ability.

About: Hi! I'm Megan, and I've been around dogs my entire life. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and I truly love getting to know each pet's unique personality. I previously worked as a receptionist at a veterinary clinic, where I learned to recognize when a pet may need medical attention and became familiar with common health concerns. While I'm not a veterinarian, I know what warning signs to look for and won't hesitate to contact you or seek veterinary care if something doesn't seem right. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, going on adventures, or curling up on the couch for cuddles, I'm happy to match their routine and make them feel comfortable while you're away. My goal is to treat every pet like they're my own, so you can have peace of mind knowing they're safe, loved, and well cared for. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family! I currently work part-time at a hospital in Lincoln, where I work two 12-hour shifts each week. Since I create my own schedule, I know my availability up to six weeks in advance. In short, I have plenty of flexibility and time to provide the care and attention your fur baby deserves! I am more than willing to watch your fur babies in the comfort of their own home, where they can stay in a familiar and comfortable environment. I know how important it is for pets to keep their normal routine, especially when their humans are away. I will treat your pets like they are my own and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, playtime, and care while you’re gone. I am also respectful of your home and will make sure everything is left the way I found it.
About: I’ve always had dogs growing up and began to walk dogs for others at a young age. I started dog sitting about 5 years ago! I am a full time student but completely online. I drive across town multiple times a day so it’s easy for me to stop in or have a good walk often! My apartment is able to host small dogs and cats comfortably. Exercise will be a big part of our days as well as just interacting and making sure they are safe.
About: I've taken care of pets since I was twelve years old, and have experience with a variety of dogs, especially big dogs. I also have experience with dog/cat duos. Communication and flexibility are really important to me as a caregiver, and I am passionate about good care of pets. I'm a current senior at UNL. I have a pretty flexible schedule. I'm available in mornings, afternoons, and evenings in between classes and practice. I can do overnights most weeknights and weekends depending on the week. I am available during days and overnight. I guarantee at least 20 minutes with your pets, as well as daily pictures to let you know how they're doing. You'll never be in the dark about your pets. I love giving walks when able and giving lots of pets and scratches and belly rubs.

About: While I do not possess professional experience in animal care, I am very active in the animal world. I love time spent at shelters with animals that do not get much attention otherwise. I have always been a pet owner and animal “enthusiast”. My girlfriend is a popular sitter on Rover and I have assisted her in some of her sits to get a feel for it. I would love to care for your pets as if they were my own! I am a current student at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln so do bare in mind I will have classes I must attend during the day, so I will not be able to keep watch of pets during certain times of the day during the week. I currently do not have any pets however I will use any and all safety tools that have been put in place by any owners/pets I have contact with!
“I had not met Nicole before she watched my cats. She did a great job caring for them and she was good about keeping me updated after each visit. I would definitely have her watch them again and recommend her to anyone needing their animals taken care of while away.”

I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, maintaining routines, administering medications, and giving each dog the individualized care they need. I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. My schedule allows me flexibility to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I’m happy to make time for walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, medications, and plenty of attention.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
